By the way, Populous on Origin is broken. Whoever put it in Origin didn't care to setup DOSBOX besides adding this at the aoutexec part:

c:
cls
populous Vga Roland MT-32
exit

And you know what? Fullscreen VGA colors are broken and there is no MT-32 at all (just MIDI) since the DOSBOX build (v0.73) used doesn't have MT-32 emulation.

Somebody though that not giving bonus games was a bad idea after all and decided to threw some games together. A complete joke.

zaine-h: I originally bought the bundle for Mirror's Edge and Sims 3. I'm glad that Populous got added (although a little disappointed about the DRM). I was interested in the game anyway so if I like the first one, why not get the full set on GOG. :)
populous haz DRM? Just downloaded it from Origin. It's just DOSBox, the DRM that it did had, they removed (Manual Lookup)

It's easily fixable

I already have the game here and installed the Origin Version just out of curiosity. It is really strange to see DosBox after the start of an Origin Game... :D

I know it's easily fixable, I already did (changed the DOSBOX build to a more recent one with MUNT and correctly setting). The thing is not everyone know how to do this, so at least giving a WORKING copy could be enough.

That is the same autoexecute setup used in the GOG version...

Think They added to Origin just for Humble, as you can't buy it on Origin (or not the One they have for where I live)

Huh, I didn't pay over the average but still got the two extra games. I didn't expect that.

Because you bought it in 1st week.

That's how it's always been. If you buy a Humble Bundle before the 2nd week bonuses, you get those bonuses. It matters not if you Beat the Average so long as you purchased in the first week.

If you buy *after* the bonuses are unveiled, then yes, you need to Beat the Average to get those.

For some reason I was expecting that. In fact, I expected to see a GOG file or something, like what happened on some digital stores recently with an old classic released there. But at least EA took more care about that part...

Meh bought the bundle just because Bulletstorm and Dead Space 2 were going to be the bonus games...

They just kind of "linked" the dosbox executble to Origin. You are not able to start Dosbox or the game without starting Origin. BUT you can just mount the GAME directory in an existing Dosbox installation... After the installation with Origin it is kind of DRM free this way...
